The minister of Youth and Sports, Bakary Y. Badjie, has issued a persuasive call to action during deliberations at the ongoing Senior Management Team (SMT) meeting held at the Independence Stadium Meeting Room.

Addressing directors and heads of satellite institutions under his Ministry, Minister Badjie reminded the team of their collective responsibility.
“Let us never forget why we are here,” he reminded.

Our mandate is clear to all of us —serve the youth, uplift sports, and build a future where every young Gambian finds purpose and pride,’’ Minister Badjie said.

The Senior Management Team (SMT) meeting serves as a high-level platform for strategic dialogue, performance review and alignment of institutional priorities towards youth empowerment and sports development across The Gambia.
